Dermapen 4

Dermatology for the digital age.

A world first for micro-needling devices

The Dermapen 4 sets a new benchmark in dermatology, being the first fully digital micro-needling device. It improves performance relative to current devices across a number of areas including calibration accuracy, cross-contamination prevention and human factors (by eliminating the power-cord). The new model’s balanced form and precision controls express a polished design language, reflecting Dermapen’s leadership position and differentiating the brand from an increasing number of competitors.

The kinked form perfectly fits the clinician’s hand during treatments and sets the digital display at an optimal viewing angle. The unit’s modest weight is centrally positioned making fatigue virtually non-existent, even with extended procedures.

The angled head and cordless operation provide unhindered and secure handling. Buttons allow precise control and depth adjustments even when using gloves.

The unit records the exact dimensions of a cartridge’s needles via RFID, allowing automatic calibration for any manufacturing tolerances, and ensuring optimal depth for each treatment.

Cobalt developed a refined and professional design language, capable of differentiating from generic competitors, and reflecting Dermapen’s R&D leadership position.
